What Is RSS?
Click on any orange RSS button to get the latest Web pages from this website. You can use them anywhere else on the Web (they are on most websites) to get news feeds from CNN or BBC, or just about anything else, including news on upcoming movies and DVD releases, your favorite musician's tour updates, etc. Once you get started, it is like having your favorite parts of the Web come to you. No need to go out and check for updates all the time. No need to bookmark a favorite website! RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. But that is just a fancy way of saying that you can keep up with all the updates to this website without having to check the website every week to see "what is new." Any new page that I add to this website (or if I make changes on an existing page) will be released through the feed and you will be notified.
How do you get started? It's easy! Just download a free RSS Reader first (or skip to the bottom to learn about Web-based readers). This is special software that reads the RSS feeds... Windows -- RssReader http://rssreader.com Mac -- NetNewsWire http://ranchero.com Once you are all set up, here is all that you have left to do... Right-click (control-click for Mac users) on the orange RSS button on any page of this site (they are located on the left side of each page under the navigation bar). Select Copy Shortcut ("Copy Link to Clipboard" on a Mac), and paste that URL into your RSS Reader. That's it! You'll be subscribed.
